Congress Exceeded Power in Wartime Prohibition Law
New York June 11 Elihu Root declares Congress exceeded its powers in enacting wartime prohibition and that the internal revenue collector holds brewers in his grasp. He testifies in the U S Circuit Court of Appeals against government's appeal to lift a temporary injunction shielding breweries from prosecution and interference with 2 75 per cent beer production. Root cites two clouds over action: penalty under the November 21 1941 act and brewery insubordination to revenue law.
